THE LIQUOR LAW.

In our last paper we notified our readers that the Judges had at last given opinions

upon the Liquor Law. We say opinions when we would be much more gratified to

see the word in the singular. Before saying anything about those opinions or criti

cising the action of the Judges, we will

once more make a clear statement of the

position of the Democratic party upon the question of temperance. That position is

to be found in the resolution of a memora

ble State's convention, whieh announced

that the Democracy admitted intemper

ance to be a great moral and social evil,

for the suppression of which they were in

favor of a stringent law, at the same time they were opposed to any law upon the sub

ject containing the principles of search, seizure, confiscation and destruction.—

What was thus solemnly resolved, is still,

and will ever be, as solemnly maintained. Upon this friend and foe may relv.

The Legislature which followed the passage of the resolution referred to, enacted

the law which has been in question. It

was a Fusion measure in conception and enactment, and as such will always remain

an index of Fusion principles, and a mir

ror of the bigoted, reckless, and despotic legislation..characteristic of their ascen

dancy.

"The law emuraecs the verv features so

We will distinctly enumerate them.

Prohibition of manufacture.

Sales by a salaried court ty agent. A county grocery stocked by county funds.

Punishment upon a presumed intention to violate the law.

Punishment for such presumed-intention by search of a citizen's premises (dwelling

house included), seizure of his property

(recognized as such by the law), confiscation and destruction thereof, without as

sessment or hope of damages, without any

proof of guilt,—nay, with an absolute refusal of proof of innocence.

Very justly the law became odious.— For several reasons its execution was im

possible it was too oppressive, and cost

too much county treasuries were threat

part we think clearly obvious. It goes far to clip that wing of Fusionism familiarly

called Prohibition. If there was really a

distinct Prohibition party, it is either anni-

faro. A prohibitory law is now impossible

under the constitution. But judging them

by their old fanaticism, it is not to be supposed that they will abandon the crusade.

They mut have a Maine IAW, come what

will, cost what it may. Hence they will

insist upon a modification of the constitution, even upon the incorporation into it of

an entire prohibitory law. Failing that, there is left then but one other course

we mistake not, a "stringent law," wisely framed to correct, as far as lies in Wal

For this blow at the Prohibitory party

others to be thankful. To her the agitation of Prohibition has been a positive curse.—

FRANCIS P. BLAIR TURNED BLACK I REPUBLICAN. ^We have been reluctant to credit the rumor that for several days has represented Francis P. Blair, esq., as a convert to black

hence the possibility that he had so far dis honored his antecedents induced us to be silent as to the rumor referred to until the humiliating fact is made apparent by the publication of his letter to the Republican

Association in this city. There was a time

when we looked to Mr. Blair as a political

teacher of democracy. He proved himself unfaithful to democracy when he followed Martin Yan Buren into the ranks of freesoilism, and now he has reached the bottom of political infidelity and treachery when he proclaims himself the advocate of the black republicanism of William II. Seward. As a democratic ortf in, looking al

Mr. Blair's letter is addressed to "the Corresponding Committee of the Republican Association of Washington City, D. C.," and in answer to an invitation to become its presiding officer. He declines the post tendered to him for the present, but how fully lie accords in sentiment with the disunion sentiments and objects of the black republicans may be readily inferred from the fact that when his letter was read before the association on the Oth instant the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: ''Resolved: That the thanks of this as-

has departed entirely jirinciples relative lo tlie government of the Territories of the United States, and has become but little better than a working model of John C.

Mr. Blair comes up boldly to thc support of Mr. Seward, and says "The work of restoration is simple and easy, if the men

whose capacity, fidelity and courage can be relied upon to oppose the issue which the present administration has made to control it." And, again, almost in the language of Mr. Seward, he says "The administration has staked itself on the support of the par

strain of abolitionism—Mr. Blair adds: "If the majority favorable to the policy built up with our government will unite, accept the issue tendered by the administration, and make the repeal of the repealing clause
